If you taught editing or production courses using Final Cut Pro 7 prior to summer of 2011, did you upgrade to FCP X, switch to Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer? Maybe your institution decided to stay with FCP 7 for now? How did you determine which non-linear-editing (NLE) software is the best for your students and what are the criteria? This panel brings representatives from Adobe, Apple and Avid to talk face-to-face with educators. Our faculty panelists with expert knowledge and experience using these products, will engage in informative, lively and honest discussions with the industry reps, about what media educators and student need in an NLE and what our expectations are from them. A rare opportunity for educators to engage in an in-depth dialogue directly with representatives from the three major NLEs. Moderator: George Chun Han Wang, University of Hawaii At Manoa Panelists: Phil Hoffman, The University of Akron; Justine Stokes, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh; William Stanwood, Boston College
